Brrr

February's snow in Birmingham.

March second

This was about three weeks ago, on a crisp morning stroll. I'm a lot rounder now and my coats only just fit around my bump. Finding things to wear ! is becoming increasingly difficult, not helped by the really warm summer days that we've experienced this week. The last three days we've been down on the beach, and I'm loving that feeling of sandy, salty skin and hair, and sun kissed cheeks. I do hope the weather lasts, it's doing wonders to the new seedlings I've planted in the garden, and to dry our washing outside again is such a blessing!

Time is whizzing by, and I can't believe its almost two weeks sense my birthday weekend.
I had such a magical time, full of surprises and treats. It began with a trip to a cafe on the Boating lake with Mama, my Auntie and Grandpa. We ate chocolate cake and cream tea to celebrate my birthday early.
Then of course, my sister; India came home as such a fabulous surprise that everybody was in on, except me! Liam and I popped into my parents for lunch and after a little while, they told me a present was waiting for my in living room, and there was Indie! On Saturday, Liam cooked a few of us a delicious meal of Lamb with vegetables and olives, alongside some delicious olive and sun dried tomato bread (which I will definitely be asking him to bake again... mmmm!)

My actual birthday was on Sunday and after breakfast in bed and church, we lay in the sun eating some birthday chocolates and reading some of my new books, before heading to my parents for a big roast. It was an extra special weekend because Liam had planned everything. I didn't even think I would be doing anything until the Friday. I'm so looking to when the baby comes and my head is so busy I had almost forgotten about it all together.
My iPhone camera is playing up again so I hardly took any photographs of the weekend, but thankfully  my wonderful sissies (1, 2, 3 and 4!) did, so I have pinched a few!

Sister

Yesterday I turned 22, and for the weekend my adorable sister surprised me with a visit from Edinburgh. It's been so wonderful to spend time with her over the last few days, eating, walking and having a good catch up. She's enjoyed seeing the bump and feeling the feet pushing out, as it does constantly these days.

I have neglected to take many photos this weekend, but I know my sissies and Liam have, so I shall have to pinch some of theirs.
